Help Support Ducati Forum:
There is some information on the North American "Swingarm recall" thread and (I think) on Andy1199's thread entitled "odd day on the Tric"
Got my recall letter today too, as did my dealer! They are expecting replacement parts next week but I don't know if I'll need mine doing either; I think it is only a tiny proportion of bikes actually affected.

Just come home to my recall letter in the UK.
Mines in for a service and was about to come home.
Think it can stay with them now until either fixed or cleared.
The weathers gone belly up again anyway so no loss for me at the minute.
Not a nice thought though that I've done 620 miles with a dodgy link bolt
Makes me wonder why it's taken so long for the UK letters.
I work with car recalls for a living and to be honest the notifications go out to the dealers all at once. Especially anything to do with suspension, brakes, fuel etc...
I wonder what happens from a legal point of view if somebody stacks a bike and gets hurt as a result of delayed recall letter ????
Which country gets their letter last ????

Ok guys to save you some time.
Also it is rumored that this recall is for the bike between N° 420 to 4048
Also note that some customers here in France have received the letter even if the bolt was correct
Anyway it's pretty easy to check yourself ;-)

Well Done Valen, thats exactly how my dealer explained it to me. If the bolt has knurling around it, its the wrong one.
I took my bike in for service and when I got home I found the letter, grrrrr. I did ask my dealer and he confirmed I already have the correct bolt. They told me to post the letter to them so they can fill it in and post it to Ducati for me.

From the right side of your bike Look at the top of the swingarm where it attaches to the engine/frame. You'll see a turn buckle looking thing sticking out the top pointing forward. Looking at the pic valen attached it's that part in the right upper corner.
There's a cover with a hole in it, look thru the hole and you can see the bolt head.

I've had no letter yet and mine is N° 777. Checked the bolt and it looks like the right one, as far as I can tell. Anyone else think this is a particularly feable bolt, even the correct one, to transfer all the load from the swingarm to the shock? I'm sure its OK, but common sense says it should be a humongous high tensile mega bolt.
For the ones that have issues locating the bolt, follow the yellow arrow ;-)
